If you are anything like me (mostly nuts), then you are also terribly bothered by OOTP not protecting the numbers of players that go to the DL or are sent to the gulag that is AAA, and then when you recall them a #21 has turned into #23 in AAA, and upon recall is #28. HORRIBLE.

So today, I made this. I will now track all the numbers for all players that make it to the majors for the Coons, and as long as they remain in the organization. Not that total scrums will have a number reserved for the next seven years, but at least I don't have to search back through this thread for the last time the guy was on the roster to give him his number back. It will also make it easier to find a number for a new player without hitting every single bum on the DL and in AAA first in the editor...

Brown are of course all the retired numbers we have, dark gray numbers are reserved, either for obvious reasons (Cookie, Toner), or because I can't make up my mind yet (Nunley, Roberts, but probably nay), red guys are on the DL, and light gray guys are toiling in the minors. On the right are the aforementioned scrums that had their numbers reassigned at some godforsaken point. I might occasionally post this at the start of the year with the roster, or something like that.

Some of the omissions in the first batch are recent departures: #27 Rich Hereford and #11 Tom Scumbag come to mind. #9 was once Vern Kinnear, but the number was never specifically protected.

And a proper update should follow in this spot later today. I tried to do a double whammy yesterday, but got doozy after a number of games in the second week, so there's not much of a hurdle to producing the rest of that week today.
